NW. A black lincoln towncar driven by a city employee ran down a cyclist in a fit of anger and may get away with it without your testimony. Thank you.<br>------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---<br><br>In other news...<br>Driving back from Union Station around midnight last night, I happened upon a cyclist/car crash at the intersection of <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1211204891_1">Michigan</span> and Varnum in NE. There was a crumpled 10 speed in the middle of
the road, a man laying on the ground, and a Toyota with a head-sized dent in its fender pulled off to the side of the road. Fortunately, the cyclist was getting help from a fellow cyclist and a number of bystanders. He was moving around when the firetruck arrived."<br><br><BR><BR><div><div>Anne Blein-Zuk (formerly Villacres)<br>TFK PG Chapter<br>301-704-6612<br>www.tfkpg.org<br></div></div>
